Prime Minister inaugurates work on redevelopment of Tirunelveli railway station

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday virtually inaugurated the redevelopment of Tirunelveli Junction Railway Station, taken up with an outlay of ₹270 crore under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.

The work envisages construction of a new terminal building on the western side and a multi-level parking lot. Bus bays will be built on the eastern and western side of the railway junction and a skywalk would be constructed to connect them.

A secondary terminal with a 15-metre approach road will be opened on the western side of the premises. This will ease traffic congestion. Commercial land would be developed on both sides of the station with parking facilities.
